We are presented with 749 and 740. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 0 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 4 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 7 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 749 + 740 = 1489.
